I Became the Academy’s Female Delinquent Chapter 12. Suspicion

It was the moment when the three of them were blankly staring at the unidentified crow flying away.

**ㅡOong, oong, oong!**

A strange vibrating sound began to be heard from the ground.

They were completely off guard, looking around at their feet with bewildered faces.

_Chrarararak!_

In an instant, bizarre chains burst through the ground and wrapped around their ankles.

“Th, this chain?!”

It was a familiar skill.

Elsie immediately thought of someone and tensed up.

“What is this now?”

“This chain is…”

***

“All three of you, that’s as far as you go.”

A languid voice was heard.

A woman with long purple hair was slowly approaching, her delicate fingers spread.

Turning her head to confirm the woman’s identity, Elsie swallowed hard, thinking she knew it.

Her signature smiling face and suspicious squinting eyes.

One of the highest-ranking Valkyries of the Aesir Saga.

In terms of the set power level, she was equal to Elsie, who had achieved demigod ascension.

“Reginleif…!”

“Oh my. Elsie, you remembered my name after going through the trouble of coming to school today. Teacher is so touched.”

_ㅡChrararararak!_

“But the commotion just now was a bit much.”

“Uwaaa!”

The three people, their ankles helplessly entangled in Reginleif’s chains, were pulled together by the force of the chains.

“The culprits of the commotion are hereby restrained.”

Helplessly dragged by the chains, they were getting closer and closer to Elsie and Thrud.

Doyun sensed the situation he was about to face and shouted.

“Now, hold on a minute! Teacher!”

“Troublemakers should just stay put quietly, okay?”

“No, this is… not good! Uwaaa!!”

If this continued, the three of them would be happily bundled together by the chains, which had no consideration for personal space.

A way to overcome this situation was needed.

‘Summon Notung! That sword with its insane cutting power can cut through even Teacher’s chains! Cut the chains and escape!’

The sword, which was his ultimate armament that consumed a considerable amount of stamina.

Perhaps it existed to overcome just such a crisis.

“Summon… eugh!”

_Chrararak!_

“Doyun. You mustn’t resist.”

Reginleif manipulated the chains with a smiling face.

Before any more nonsense could come out, she quickly bundled the three of them together and wrapped them tightly with chains.

_Clap!_

The three became a chain meatball.

However, thanks to Doyun’s struggles, the balance of the chains was disrupted.

His efforts were not meaningless.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, he was able to avoid the embarrassing situation of having to face the girls face-to-face as they were being bundled together.

But as a result, his face was buried in Elsie and Thrud’s chests.

“Keu, keueok!”

His face bounced off the soft elasticity once, and an unfamiliar scent of flesh wafted up.

‘This is dangerous. Socially dangerous!’

“Geuaaaaa!”

They were happily entangled in the chains, unable to move an inch.

But Doyun struggled to tilt his head back, trying to escape this social crisis.

Thanks to this, he was able to face Elsie, who was looking down at him with an annoyed expression, and Thrud, who had a troubled expression.

“S, sorry.”

“Tsk.”

Elsie clicked her tongue and looked down at Doyun.

Because he was struggling, the height of the chains was misaligned, and as a result, it became even more uncomfortable…

Moreover, because Han Doyun had buried his face in her chest, she felt the sensitive sensation of her chest that she didn’t want to be aware of.

She felt very strange.

A slightly annoyed Elsie puffed out her cheeks a little and opened her mouth.

“That’s what happens when you try to escape Reginleif’s restraints clumsily. To deal with that annoying chain of restraint…”

“Ugh, it’s so uncomfortable! It’s already hot because I just fought!”

Thrud, panting with a troubled expression, began to struggle.

Being tied together and facing each other was very uncomfortable.

Extreme closeness where they could feel each other’s breath.

But the person who was going the most crazy was Doyun.

“Eut?! Heueut!? D, don’t struggle! It feels like it’s tightening even more because the biggest one is making a fuss!”

“Elsie, you’re the smallest, so you don’t know this discomfort!”

“How small am I that you keep saying I’m small! This is the default setting!”

“What is the default setting?!”

“Hey, hey, please be still…”

Doyun, his face flushed like a tomato, stopped Elsie and Thrud as if begging.

He felt like he was going crazy from the sensations he felt from the two people wriggling while being so close.

If he reached the limit of his patience, a truly irreversible situation would occur.

“Haa, okay, for the sake of Doyun, who is the most embarrassed, I, Thrud Unni, will endure it.”

“Don’t call yourself Unni, it’s creepy… and I’m the most embarrassed!”

“Ha? Elsie, when is your birthday! For your information, I was born in the spring? If you have any complaints about me being your Unni…”

“I don’t… know such things.”

“……”

‘If I had to guess Elsie’s birthday, wouldn’t it be the character creation date? There’s no way to know when this Elsie was born.’

In the suddenly subdued atmosphere, Elsie let out a long sigh.

At first, she had come to the academy with Thrud to understand the situation she was in.

But it was actually very simple and clear.

She had become Elsie in a strange world.

Unfortunately, that was all.

Why she could use game-like abilities.

How she could adapt to Elsie’s body so quickly and handle the game’s abilities like her own limbs.

Only unsettling questions with no answers deepened.

‘Even if I was half-crazy about the game and manipulated Elsie, this ‘familiarity’ is not normal.’

She was synchronized with Elsie so much that it was hard to believe, as if they were soulmates.

On the other hand, her last memories of that world were blurry and unclear.

Elsie’s head began to throb.

“Keuek…”

“Elsie?”

Doyun and Thrud looked at her worriedly as Elsie frowned and groaned.

“Don’t try to force yourself to remember if it’s painful, you idiot!”

Thrud, who was already close, brought her face so close that their noses touched, asked worriedly.

Elsie was horrified by the closeness and tilted her head back.

“This sh… get, get away! You’re too close…! Get your face away!”

“How can I get away? We’re currently the closest in the nine worlds. Right, Doyun?”

“No, asking me that is… really troubling. Really.”

“…It seems so.”

Elsie, looking down at Doyun, who was desperately holding his head up, pitied him with a sympathetic look.

She couldn’t help but sympathize with his feelings.

Being tied up with two girls with chains.

It was an unimaginable, embarrassing, and lewd situation.

If she hadn’t become Elsie and had faced the same situation, she would have been too embarrassed to know what to do.

She would have fainted from shame.

_Chrararar.

The chains began to move, making a clear sound.

Reginleif was slowly approaching, holding Truth and the others with the chains.

“Now, you troublemakers? Stop chatting? It seems there’s a lot to hear about this commotion, so you’ll have to come to the faculty room with me.”

Being dragged to the faculty room in this state?

Elsie, Thrud, and Doyun couldn’t help but be horrified, each in their own way.

***

There is a limit to what one can endure.

“Keuheuk, seriously, a girl… doesn’t she have any sense of distance… don’t rub your face against me, you bitch… it’s embarrassing…”

“It’s stuffy… Elsie… I’m stuffy… let me go…”

“No more limits…”

ㅡ_Chrarararak!_

The chains engraved with amber-colored runes made a cool sound as they quickly unraveled.

Thrud wriggled and rubbed her cheeks incessantly.

Elsie’s heart, which was attached to her, shrank with embarrassment.

It was a truly difficult time for Elsie, who had never had such close contact with the opposite sex in the past.

Moreover, being moved as a set, tied up in chains like a spectacle, and being shown to the entire student body.

It was torture that made public execution seem better.

This world is clearly full of humiliation play.

The humiliation has been endless since morning.

Reginleif, looking at Elsie, who was out of her mind, raised her index finger.

“Elsie. I really appreciate you going through the trouble of coming to school, but if there are continuous commotions in less than half a day, it’s also difficult for the teacher.”

Reginleif’s eyebrows rose as she spoke a little firmly.

But it was still difficult to read her thoughts because she was still squinting.

“The collapse of the ground in the training field due to the sudden duel with Thrud, and the destruction of the training steel pillars.”

Elsie flinched and cowered without realizing it at the sound of Reginleif’s voice, which calmly recited her destruction record.

“The water jar you broke in the cafeteria was a treasure with a small amount of Mimir’s spring water added… and it seems to have been shattered?”

Elsie hiccuped when she learned the identity of the jar she had thrown and smashed.

She didn’t know how much it was worth.

But if it was connected to a famous location even in the game, it would definitely be something worth calling treasure.

“Due to the continuous battle with the giant students, the interior of the cafeteria was half destroyed, the walls collapsed, and part of the storage area was destroyed.”

“Ugh…”

She was led by the fight and did things without thinking about the aftermath.

But Elsie had something to say too.

The duel with Thrud had a legitimate reason, and they started the commotion in the cafeteria first.

However, she couldn’t deny the fact that she ultimately joined the commotion.

“The remaining part of the training ground that was still intact became a wasteland because of the beam Elsie used at the end.”

“……”

“And I heard that some of the annex that was within the range of the beam was also damaged? I heard that several private rooms were smashed.”

“I-I’m sorry…”

There was no room for excuses.

In the end, Elsie froze like a stone statue with an uneasy face.

Like a small animal that reveals its emotions.

Reginleif couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the cute sight.

“Pfft! Elsie, you’ve caused so many accidents, but you have an unexpectedly cute side? Really… if you have that much power and ability, please use it in the martial arts tournament if possible.”

“M-Martial arts tournament…?”

When the martial arts tournament was mentioned, Elsie unconsciously asked, reminded of the martial arts tournament, the Aesir Saga’s duel ranking system.

Reginleif, who had a meaningful smile on her face at Elsie’s seemingly interested appearance, nodded.

She was strong enough to almost destroy the academy in less than half a day.

She believed that this child would definitely be interested.

‘If she’s interested in the martial arts tournament and focuses on it, unnecessary commotions will decrease, and I won’t be bothered with the academy restoration work.’

The destructive power shown by the child who returned to school after a week due to illness was beyond imagination.

Thanks to that, Reginleif, who was in charge of restoring the destroyed academy, needed to keep Elsie in check for her own peace.

No, she desperately needed to.

‘My nap time is gone!’

Reginleif clenched her fist.

She continued to explain to Elsie, who was looking at her like a cat with drooping ears.

“I thought Elsie would be interested in the martial arts tournament. If you qualify, you’ll have the opportunity to compete with students representing academies from other worlds.”

“Oh…”

“As representatives of academies from each world, all selected participants are top-notch powerhouses.”

Elsie’s eyes, which had been gloomy due to her destructive actions that would make even a tyrant cry, sparkled a little.

The possibility of becoming stronger than before when she was just controlling the character, by becoming the character she was manipulating.

She saw that possibility for the first time in the fight with Thrud.

Therefore, for Elsie, the opportunity to fight strong people was an event she didn’t want to miss.

‘I don’t know how to go back to the way I was anyway, so if that’s the case, if I can just fight…’

Elsie was compromising with reality in the wrong direction, but no one in this place knew that fact.

“The Nine Worlds Academy Integrated Martial Arts Tournament, Yggdrasil Alheim Schlacht. Would you like to hear about it?”

“Yes!”

Elsie’s active appearance, shining her eyes, was cute.

Reginleif, who almost opened her usually closed eyes that were part of her concept, cleared her throat once and raised her finger.

“Before that! Promise me one thing. Don’t be too violent in the academy…”

She was about to ask her not to be too violent in the academy because it would bother her.

“Ah, that’s right!!”

But she couldn’t finish her words because Thrud suddenly stood up and interrupted, as if she had suddenly remembered something.

“T-Thrud? What’s wrong? Unless it’s important…”

“It’s very important! This innocent thing has lost her memory!”

“What?”

Once again, Reginleif’s concept collapsed, and her closed eyes slowly opened.

‘If the reason I felt that she was different from the record when I first saw her was because she lost her memory…’

It was an understandable sense of incongruity.

Elsie tensed as Reginleif’s purple eyes turned to her.

The timing when Reginleif of the Aesir Saga opened her eyes was from the transition to the 2nd phase.

It was just a story in the game, but she definitely had a scary face when she opened her eyes.

‘She was a boss with a lot of foreshadowing to the point where there were rumors of her being a mastermind. She was also the only boss in the Valkyrie raid that we repelled instead of defeating…’

Elsie still couldn’t believe that she was just an academy teacher.

But that’s not what’s important now.

“Never mind about losing her memory! Tell me more about the martial arts tournament!”

***

Reginleif looked at Elsie, who was tilting her head to the side.

Only then did she realize what the sense of incongruity she felt when she first saw Elsie was.

Elsie Adorenchia.

The information about her that the Adorenchia family had provided, except for the fact that she was from Asgard, was not very distinctive.

‘Passive and quiet personality.’

A record often seen among the young ladies from some prestigious families in Asgard.

A stuffy and boring background like a doll raised under the family’s strict control.

‘There’s nothing that matches the Elsie I’ve seen since morning.’

Still, up to this point, it was a possible story if she had lost her memory, as Thrud said.

However, the somewhat disappointing report that she had no innate or awakened combat abilities and only showed the talent to awaken divinity.

Considering the combat power Elsie had shown, this was an impossible record.

At first, she thought that the record was simply wrong or that Elsie had been hiding her abilities from her family.

‘If she lost her memory, it’s a different story.’

It doesn’t make sense.

Verification was needed.

Whether she was the real Elsie Adorenchia.
